i must have been playing it wrong cus after fighting the great soul i have had no idea what i’ve been doing and wandering in and out of like 3-4 different areas

harry @videogamesarebad.co.uk · 8h

i have no idea if this is common sentiment, but it definitely feels like a developer’s first game. got me pretty excited to move on to silksong

harry @videogamesarebad.co.uk · 8h

it’s got totk syndrome where you can go wherever you want and there’s no clear path to anything and it’s a constant fear of if i’m somehow skipping out on a fun garden path or whether, no, you actually need to hit this random wall three times to progress

Some old advice about starting big projects (game translation projects in my case, but a lot of it is probably universal)

yeah idk, the story seemed pretty finished to me, bar one loose end. i won't be backing it but it seems clear about how the funds are going to be used for people who are; i don't think anyone is expecting them to create an entire season of an animated show on 250k bucks

enjoying reading the bigotry against llms discourse this morning; an argument that requires so many backflips to exist and it's not even good lmao

2010s: be sure to put some sort of dog interaction in your game for a Polygon writeup
2020s: be sure to put a perfect square of negative space in your HUD for Northernlion to nest in

Thanks for all the responses so far! I'm going to close this in a couple days so if you know any more creators who might fill this out, please keep sharing until then. Results are super interesting so far and I'm looking forward to sharing them with everybody as part of a larger project!

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated!

Hard for me fault anyone who doesn’t know good games exist when almost no major gaming website reviewed or covered this year’s Seamus McNally Grand Prize winner.

We allow one bad take a year David so that’s about three months to go where you can only post good opinions from now on 😌

tomb raider 2 is the only objectively good game because its the only game where you can go into a giant chasm, kill a t-rex, find a grenade launcher, and then kill another t-rex. no other game lets you do this.

they probably will

harry @videogamesarebad.co.uk · 10d

it's just one of those things where you could probably joke that they can't do any worse, but like, you know, they probably *could*
